Exactly how will I benefit from DLing this? none at all. we were just hoping there would be a cross-game chat system, but that isn't here (yet). maybe if you want to sign in with a nicer interface, or if you switch logins between blizzard games a lot. | ||

I gather most people nowadays have at least 2 GB of RAM - SC2 needs at maximum 1 - 1.2 GB of RAM anyway (on Windows 8 at least). If the client helps getting updates faster (by downloading future updates in the background, etc.), this may be worth the 100mb cost. Also, if it disturbs anyone, you can just shut the program down. | ||

it automatically log into your account that you used for the b.net client. so if you want to log into your other account, you will have to log out after you got into the game. | ||

The hope is that eventually it'll skip the in-game login screen and let you chat and form parties outside of the game so you don't have to keep the heavy client running just to partake in the social side of it, but it's still beta at the moment so it's just friends list/updater/feed reader. | ||

It is highly confusing to me, how you could think that it's a non-priority feature... | ||

I won't use a client with too many pixels.[spoiler]there's actually a huge bunch of things they haven't added, hence why it's called beta :p some things that are WIP > settings enable battle.net sounds launch battle.net minimized use proxy server for lan install games after downloading some annoying things i don't like so much wasted space at the top banner, all it says is games/news. likely chat should fit up there in the future, and clans or something. if you click on your sc2 name to get your b.net id, you can't actually copy and paste it (even though if you try it looks like you can for a second). a click event should keep the b.net id open so you can copy&paste. for some reason you have like 10 things in an option dropdown (patch notes, uninstall, repair, etc), and then randomly Redeem a Code beside the Options button. So inconsistent. should either have more things in that header section, or remove the Redeem a Code and find another place to put the Options dropdown. (i see in other games there's a "Upgrade Available" button, but i'm not sure how Redeem a Code is related to these three. The Options dropdown should be done better though still. There are way too many external links, etc, options dropdown, reading comments. This is getting into really anal territory, but in the list of games (WoW, D3, SC2), on the selected game with the blue square, the padding to the left is 4pixels, but the padding to the right of the square is 5pixels. Idk how I noticed that but I did LOL Also, in the dropdown box you use to select your region, I'm not sure what the option "Live" is supposed to mean. I'm also not a fan of how Patch Notes are fullscreen attached to the client, but not Settings. A bit more consistent would be nice. | ||
